The Band UB40 Is Now Selling Wine ... Red Red Wine
When reggae band UB40, they of the 70 million records sold, ask if you’d like to taste their Red Red Wine, the answer is obviously/immediately/hilariously yes. Anyone born before the millennium has a connection to the infectious reggae-pop song by the same name. I distinctly remember bobbing my scrunchy-clad head to the beat in the back of my mom’s minivan. Now, decades later, it’s re-emerged in the form of a Bordeaux.
So when I received the opportunity to taste Red Red Wine, with the singer of Red Red Wine, while listening to "Red Red Wine," I was elated.
Lead singer Ali Campbell, with the caramelly voice you hear when “just one thing makes me forget” gets stuck in your head, joined me via Skype to taste his merlot/cabernet franc blend (they shipped me two bottles). It was 10 in the morning for me, 6 in the evening for him in London.
The version of "Red Red Wine" we all know and love first topped the charts in England in 1983, and has remained popular ever since, which raises the question: What took them so long?
